Lithography and etching in nebro, gray and red; 75 signed and numbered copies; paper: Perfect condition Publisher: Maeght, Paris. Cataloging number: 330. Listed on page 202 of Tàpies. Graphic work. 1947-1972. Editorial Gustavo Gili. 1973 // Taches et Chiffres 1 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1972, combines lithography and etching to produce an expressive and layered composition. This piece features a striking contrast of deep red shapes across a textured black and gray background. A bold, abstract red form stretches horizontally, almost resembling a bridge or crossbar, while cryptic symbols and numbers are scattered around, inviting contemplation on their meaning. The background’s texture, with rough, almost scraped layers, adds depth and evokes a sense of erosion or wear, enhancing the raw and tactile quality of the work. Printed on Arches paper, this mixed-media lithograph reflects Tàpies' exploration of materials and abstract symbolism, creating a piece that feels both enigmatic and grounded. Limited to 75 signed and numbered copies, Taches et Chiffres 1 stands as a testament to Tàpies' ability to evoke emotion through minimalistic yet powerful visuals.

What is matter painting?
Matter painting is a technique that involves blending thick impasto paints with materials like cement, mud, sand, or shells. The term first emerged in the 1950s to describe the works of Belgian and Dutch painters who explored the physical properties of painting materials and the different ways paint could be manipulated. This approach emphasizes texture and the tactile qualities of the surface, creating a sculptural effect on the canvas.
